40 Years of Weight Loss Surgery Experience

A Lifestyle Change

"Weight-loss surgery is not a magic wand. People shouldn't think it's easy. It's really a beginning to a complete lifestyle change, but it's the best choice I
ever made."

If traditional weight loss methods have not worked for you, bariatric surgery may be the answer you’ve been looking for. Surgical solutions, such as adjustable gastric banding and gastric bypass surgery, have proven very effective in treating morbid weight management and dangerous medical conditions that accompany extra weight.

The Experience of 10,000 Procedures

The surgeons affiliated with Alexian Weight Solutions have performed over 10,000 procedures spanning 40 years. With this level of experience, it's no wonder we do more bariatric procedures than any facility in the state of Illinois.
